Notes Written in the form of a prayer, the speaker of the poem invokes God's grace in order to protect and assist those living in Zaire, Sudan, Bosnia, Rwanda, and Afghanistan. This is likely in reference to the conflicts in those countries - Bosnian War/Genocide; Rwandan Genocide; Darfur; The War in Afghanistan as part of the War on Terror; and the First Congo War in Zaire in the 1990s.
